The stock version has less speed and bad traverse speed. It is recommended to upgrade the Engines and Suspension first. The Engine and suspension upgrades will make the Chaffee a very fast and maneuvrable tank. With the 2nd engine, the Chaffee reached a speed of 30 km/h in a few seconds and then reaches the tank's top speed after some more time. The 3rd engine allows the Chaffee to reach its top speed very quickly. With the 3rd engine, the Chaffee can climb up the hill of Malinovka with 40 km/h and the hill of Himmelsdorf with 30 km/h (with stock turret and gun). The 75mm gun is capable of damaging the rear armor of heavy tanks such as the IS-3 making the Chaffee a somewhat effective hit and run tank in some situations. The turret upgrade adds 50 hp to the Chaffee. The 76mm gun is even stronger. It can take on medium tanks of tier 6. Be careful that you don't get hit though and don't decide to attack a enemy who has support, as you're a light tank and you have less armor and HP. The M24 Chaffee can circle single unsupported heavy tanks.

The accuarcy on the move of both the guns is great.

Suggested Equipment

Coated Optics, +10% View Range, This is one of the most important equipments for scout tanks.

The Chaffee is intended for bush scouting and long range harrasment shooting, in wich it actually performs very well. Admitted, it is not as fast as the T50-2, but it has a much better gun in every way

Posted this on the other topic about the Chaffee since someone asked how to do it.
Basically it tells you how you can interchange the models of the first and the ##%#$%!"# second turret.
Just in case someones interested and misses it there.

I always go for coated optics, vents and see how a tank performs before deciding a scouts third slot. Crew training is always cammo, repair, fire for me too. Didn't try this in beta, but will probably end up with one at some point. How does it stack against the T-50-2?

At range the accuracy and rof of the gun lets it take the upper hand.
Up close T-50-2 superior speed and maneuverability reign supreme

For bush scout the camo is probably to bad wiht the second turret (to tall)But that thing is just bad ass with the last gun... you can kill t8 tanks without any problem and getting Orlik's Medal is no problem at all.

Turret choice does not affect tank camo values. Of course, if it's sticking out from a bush, you may have a problem. Anyway for instance KV-1 and KV-2 (same base tank for now) have same camo value, so will be same for Chaffee.
